National Flower Week is Sept. 20-26th!

Yes, indeed, an entire week dedicated to what we at
Cactus Flower Florist are most passionate about: FLOWERS!Here are ten fun ways to incorporate flowers
into your life this week:

*Change your current screen saver to a picture of your
favorite bloom.It's a proven fact that
flowers have an immediate effect on moods.Make your mood a happy one every time you pick up the phone or sit down
with your computer.

*Wear flowers!A
big bold floral print is an eye catcher, but if you're not that brave, why not
add a corsage or boutonniere to your ensemble.Not only will it make you look sharp, it's a great conversation
starter.

*Add a sprig of baby breath to your daughter's hair in
the morning.This wispy little flower
adds a bit of sweetness.

*Plant a packet of seeds or pick out a lovely blooming
plant from your local nursery to add to your garden.

*Give flowers for absolutely no reason.Sign the card message with "Every time
you look at these flowers, know that someone is thinking of you."

*Place flowers in every single room in your home. . .a
nice showy bouquet in the entryway. ..a
pretty centerpiece on the dining table. . . a contemporary arrangement in the
family room.Don't forget bud vases on
night stands--even a simple carnation with baby's breath has the power to make
someone smile.And a sweet smelling
bouquet in the bathroom adds color and a pleasant aroma.

*Liven up a houseplant by selecting a few stems and
asking the florist to put them in water tubes.When you get home, you can tuck these tubes into the soil of any
houseplant for a day or two of color.

* Tuck a sprig of daisies or buttons into a napkin ring
at the dinner table.A small, unexpected
and inexpensive pop that will make guests smile.

* Take a cruise
through Pinterest to see some of the most exotic and beautiful flowers on the
planet.An hour spent checking out
unusual orchid breeds is far better than spending that time just watching TV!

No matter how you choose to celebrate National Flower
Week, make sure it includes plenty of beautiful blooms!
